DEFINITION |
Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (382 aa, ~42 kDa) is encoded by the human AMACR gene. This protein plays a role in the beta-oxidation of branched-chain fatty acids. |
DesignNote |
Overexpression of alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase has been found in several carcinomas, thus it is considered an important biomarker in the pathogenesis of breast, prostate, and colon cancers. |
